And it’s Camera Wanking.

Was out doing a little shooting last night, and finally got a chance to do a little macrophotography (Should have the slides in a week or so). Discovered the F65 actually does do something better than my MF bodies, which is Macro work. The FA lacks program speeds longer than 1 second, making work with a large depth of field in anything other than bright light problematic (It also lacks manual settings longer than 1 second, unless you want to do Bulb mode) and the F601m lacks a Depth of Field Preview button, which is crucial for Macro work at anything beyond max aperture. The F65 however has neither of these weaknesses (Although it’s focusing screen is sub-optimal for MF work). So, finally a win for the F65.
